After two days of arguments, sessions judge Anuja Prabhudessai on Saturday rejected Tarun Tejpal's anticipatory bail plea, saying the founder editor of Tehelka could interfere with evidence in the sexual assault case against him. The judge said prima facie evidence indicated he tried to influence the family of his former colleague who has accused him of sexually assaulting her earlier this month.
